REFUND POLICY
Upon receiving a written application for a course refund, the Enrolments Officer will process it according to the following guidelines:
Course Unavailability or Visa Application Denial by Immigration (Pre-Commencement)
A total refund of tuition fees paid in advance will be provided if a course place is no longer available or if a visa has been denied.
The enrolment fee, any material or textbook fees, and the $500 administration fee for preparing the Letter of Offer (LoO) and Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) are not refundable.
Visa Denied During Course of Study:
If a visa is denied after the student has commenced the course, refunds will be calculated on a pro-rata basis to cover goods, services, and resources already partaken by the student.
